"P" tire designation vs. "LT"
I bought a new Ram 1500 in 2011 that came with Goodyear Wrangler HP tires. The tires are P275/60R20 and I have only 15k miles on them. My question has to do with the "P" designation which I understand stands for passenger car tire size.
I tow an older 25' Komfort TT that is definatly not in the lite catigory. It's not the perfect match for my truck but so far I haven't had a problem but I am worried that I might be pushing things with these tires. I hate to switch them out sinse they are low mileage and it would cost near a grand to replace with "LT" tires.
Ideally, I would like to wear them out a bit before purchasing LT tires but I want to be as safe as possible and not take unessary risks while on the road towing. I inflate them to the max tire pressure of 44 lbs. before hitting the road with the TT. They are rated at 2601 lbs at 44 psi. Any thoughts?
